Anything and everything that can be done, should be done (in order to at least try) to save our planet... our Earth is dying because we, the humans are slowing killing it! This is crazy and in this insane process we are hurting and/or killing each other while cruelly destroying the existence of the other life around us, the innocent being we share our only hone with... the status quo which allows an unsustainable death-grip of sociopathic corporations which values profits over people and the health of our planet is not acceptable anymore.

The fossil fuel is a morally corrupted, ethically bankrupted industry that only exists because they receive tax payer subsidies while not having to pay a tax for the death, disease and environmental devastation which they are the direct cause, this is completely outrageous and must some to an end.

Tell Congress: Get behind a carbon tax

A carbon tax would make polluters pay for the damage they inflict on people and the planet and help head off the worst impacts of climate change -- all the while raising hundreds of billions in revenue to protect crucial programs like Social Security and Medicare.
We must start injecting this progressive, pro-environment solution into budget debates. By signing this petition, you will show your representatives -- and our progressive allies in Congress -- that there is public support for this win-win solution.

Show your support for a carbon tax by signing this petition to Congress today.

Squirrel Creek Wildlife Rescue in Littleton Colorado was raided by Colorado Parks and Wildlife twice in three weeks resulting in Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers killing hundreds of wildlife patients.

The animals killed by Colorado Parks and wildlife came from our Intensive Care Unit, Critical Care Unit, wildlife coming out of surgery, our neonate incubators or our various rehabilitation enclosures and even wildlife on our land that was not contained in enclosures.

Total numbers of wildlife taken from Squirrel Creek Wildlife and executed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife in the past three weeks are in the hundreds. It is a sad and regretful day for the citizens of Colorado to have the wildlife that makes Colorado such a great place to live destroyed because of an arrogant and unmonitored group of unprofessional individuals hiding behind the badge the public once trusted them with.

Last year saw the hottest recorded temperatures on the planet and this May, the worldwide Break Free movement is responding. This mobilization will demonstrate opposition to fossil fuels, and express the need to keep coal, oil, and gas in the ground.

In advance of this event (and because one of the five U.S. actions is taking place in Washington) author and activist Bill McKibben will offer an update from the global frontlines about the fights that’ll determine just how overheated the earth will get. He’ll also touch on the “unparalleled evil” of Exxon, and why lobbying leaders to shut down fossil fuel projects and supporting climate change solutions is crucial for the future of the planet.

Lonesome George

Every now and then George closes his eyes for a few centuries the stars stop for the occasion and the sun goes out, his night lit only by dream...

"Hello, big boy," she says, shell new and lustrous, green as the deep sea; and her eyes deep as the dark gems that glow deep where it roots...

George, lifting his nose skyward still seeing her behind his closed eyes moves forwardslow as lava oozing from the bottom of the sea

His scaled feet arch like trees first planted then pulled up from their roots...

"I'm coming," he says.

"Lonesome George" is the name given by biologists to the last surviving male Giant Galapagos Tortoise. There are no surviving females.

The entire Giant Galapagos Tortoise species was destroyed directly by humans. The tortoise's shells were used to make tourist trinkets. The shell is part of the tortoise's body (like turtles). Without their shell, they die much like a human having their skin removed (I imagine, equally as painful).

The animal was usually still alive when it's 'soft' body was cruelly cut out from it's shell. In countries like China, and the Island of Bali, this brutal and unethical practice of live tortoise/turtle slaughter continues.

George is approximately 90 years old. In 2008, great efforts were made to help George produce offspring by fertilizing eggs of a 'close' relative species. Sadly, the experiment failed.

George is the rarest known creature in the world and... the loneliest.
